About The Set: The 1909-11 T206 White Border tobacco 523 card set is arguably the most sought after and collected baseball card set produced prior to 1950. The white border tobacco cards were produced by multiple tobacco brands, and used as a marketing scheme to sell cigarettes and tobacco products. Each individual tobacco company printed their name/insignia on the back of the card. The most common backs are from Piedmont and Sweet Caporal. Other backs were less common and command a higher value, depending on the rarity of the card/brands printed on the back. Back scarcity rankings from T206resource . org (from Wikipedia): T206 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The T206 Honus Wagner The tobacco card set known as T206 was issued from 1909 to 1911 in cigarette and loose tobacco packs through 16 different brands owned by the American Tobacco Company. It is a landmark set in the history of baseball card collecting, due to its size, rarity, and the quality of its color lithographs. History The name T206 refers to the catalog designation assigned by Jefferson Burdick in his book The American Card Catalog. It is also known informally as the "White Border" set due to the distinctive white borders surrounding the lithographs on each card. The T206 set consists of 523 cards. Over 100 of the cards picture minor league players. There are also multiple cards for the same player in different poses, different uniforms, or even with different teams after being traded (since the set was issued over a period of three years). The cards measure 1-7/16" x 2-5/8" which is considered by many collectors to be the standard tobacco card size. The T206 set is the most popular and widely collected set of the tobacco/pre-war era. The historical significance of the set as well as the large number of variations give it enormous appeal to collectors. In addition, the set features many Baseball Hall of Fame members including Ty Cobb (who is pictured on 4 different cards), Walter Johnson, Cy Young, and Christy Mathewson. The value of the cards has led to a great deal of counterfeiting over the years. The T206 Collection: The Players & Their Stories by Tom and Ellen Zappala and Peter Randall Publishers highlights the personal and professional lives of the players in the collection and discusses the values of the cards as well as the mystique behind the collection. The Honus Wagner card Main article: T206 Honus Wagner The T206 Wagner is the most valuable baseball card in existence, and even damaged examples are valued at $100,000 or more.[1] This is in part because of Wagner's place among baseball's immortals, as he was an original Hall of Fame inductee. More importantly, it is one of the scarcest cards from the most prominent of all vintage card sets. Rarity It is estimated that between 50 and 200 Wagner cards were ever distributed to the public,[2][3] and fewer still have survived to the present day. Several theories exist as to why the card is so rare. One theory is that the printing plate used to create Wagner's card broke early on in the production process, but Wagner was a major star at the time and new plates would almost certainly have been created. Another theory is that there was a copyright dispute between the American Tobacco Company and the artist who created the Wagner lithograph.[4] The most commonly accepted theory is that the card was pulled from production because Wagner himself objected to the production of the card, but his motivation is unclear. Reports at the time indicated Wagner did not wish to associate himself with cigarettes,[5] possibly because he did not want to encourage children to smoke.[1] However, some collectors and historians have pointed out that Wagner, a user of chewing tobacco, allowed his image to appear on cigar boxes and other tobacco-related products prior to 1909 and may have objected to the card simply because he wanted more financial compensation for the use of his image.[1][6] Value A high-quality example of the Wagner card was sold at auction on eBay in 2000 for US$1.265 million.[2] In February 2007, the same card was sold for a record US$2.35 million.[7] In September 2007, the Wagner card changed hands again when SCP Auctions of Mission Viejo, California, which had bought minority ownership, brokered a new sale—this time for US$2.8 million, to a private collector. On August 1, 2008, noted memorabilia dealer John Rogers of North Little Rock, Arkansas paid US$1.6 million for a PSA 5 Wagner. Rogers stated he "was prepared to go much higher and is pleased with his investment." He added "the citizens of Arkansas deserve to see this treasure and I intend to make the card available to the public."[8] In November 2010, a group of nuns from Baltimore sold a Wagner card for $262,000 in auction to Doug Walton, a sporting card store owner.[9] Brands that produced T206 cards Piedmont back of a T206. T206 cards were issued with 16 different backs, representing the 16 different brands of cigarettes/tobacco with which the cards were issued. Due to the same card having different backs, there are actually far more than 523 "different" T206 cards. The actual number of front/back combination is not fully known as collectors still discover new combinations from time to time. The 16 backs are: American Beauty – more thinly cut than other brands due to the narrower size of the cigarette packs Broadleaf Carolina Brights Cycle Drum El Principe De Gales Hindu – Found in both brown ink and red ink (rare) Lenox – Found in both brown ink and black ink Old Mill Piedmont Polar Bear – Only brand that is not cigarettes; Polar Bear was loose tobacco, also known as scrap tobacco Sovereign Sweet Caporal Tolstoi Ty Cobb Uzit Jake Atz From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jake Atz Jake Atz baseball card Seco nd baseman/Shortstop Born: July 1, 1879 W ashington, D.

He also was the most successful minor league managers of the 1920s, winning all or parts of the Texas League championship in seven consecutive seasons (1919–25) as skipper of the For t Worth Panthers. Atz was born in Wa shington, D.C. Family History Contrary to many accounts,[1][2][3] Atz was not Jewish; his maternal Grandparents were John (b 1820) and Mary (b. 1820) Flaherty. They were Irish immigrants and arrived in New York in 1870.[4] Jake Atz's paternal grandparents were John Gottlieb and Catherine Nollenberger Atz of Philadelphia who were immigrants from Kleinaspach, Marbach District, Wurttemberg Germany having arrived at New York on June 1, 1852 aboard the bark Jan Van Brakel.[5][6] They were Evangelical Lutherans. His parents were Johann Jacob Atz and Annie Theresa Flaherty. His father was born 23 Dec 1846 in Allmersbach, Germany.[6] [7] Jake's mother was born in Ireland. She came to America with her family aboard the ship Belland via London, England and LeHavre, France arriving in New York 20 May 1870. The family was recorded on that passenger list as follows: Annie Flaherty, age 15 with parents John (50), Mary (50) and siblings Ellen (18) and Mary A.(4), all natives of Ireland.[4] His siblings were Margaret B. Atz who md. Thomas Holle, Mary Louisa Atz who md. 1st to Daniel Dougherty and 2nd to Charles J. Baur, Annie Atz and Katherine Atz who md. Archibald A. Ragan.[8] Also, contrary to many published accounts,[3] [9][10][11][12] Jake Atz did not change his name. He was born, 1 July 1879 in Washington, D.C.,[13] Jacob Henry Atz and remained Jacob Henry Atz. He married Doris Kalman, a daughter of Emilia Kalman,[14] in New Orleans, Louisiana on 7 Jan 1907. He had two children, Jacob Jr. and Kalma.[15] (This family history is based upon research of Randy F. McNew Crouse and Laura Paugh, both relatives of Jake Atz.[16] ) Baseball career In four major league seasons, he played in 209 games, had 605 at bats, 64 runs, 132 hits, 21 doubles, three triples, 49 RBIs< /A>, 23 stolen bases, 69 walks , a .218 bat ting average, .304 on-base percentage, .263 slugging percentage, and 33 sacr ifice hits. Atz' first managerial assignment was the Pr ovidence Grays of the East League in 1911, and he failed dismally, losing 69 of 108 games (.361). Three years later, in 1914, he took over Fort Worth. His Panthers had winning records in his first 13 seasons. During their seven- year skein as kings of the Texas League, the Panthers won over 100 games five times – with records of 108–40 (.730) in 1920, 107–51 (.677) in 1921, 109–43 (.717) in 1922, 109–41 (.727) in 1924, and 103–48 (.682) in 1925. In 1926, the Panthers fell to third and Atz would not win another pennant until 1939, with He nderson in the Class C E ast Texas League, three levels below the Texas League. His career record as a manager in the minors over 27 seasons was 1,972 wins, 1,619 losses (.549), still one of the best winning percentages among longtime minor league skippers. He died 22 May 1945 in New Orleans, Louisiana, at age 64.[1] Powered by SixBit's eCommerce Solution
